This application is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2018/071502 with a filing date of Jan. 5, 2018, designating the United States, now pending, and further claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201711049623.8 with a filing date of Oct. 31, 2017. The content of the aforementioned applications, including any intervening amendments thereto, are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a secondary separation dust cup and a vacuum cleaner thereof, and particularly relates to a water-absorbing cyclone dust cup for secondary dust-air separation and a vacuum cleaner adopting the dust cup.

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Vacuum cleaners have become essential household appliances for providing neatness and cleanliness and are gradually accepted by most users. The vacuum cleaners can be classified into two categories of dry vacuum cleaners and wet and dry vacuum cleaners according to their functions, and can be classified into two categories of dust cup type vacuum cleaners and dust bag type vacuum cleaners according to dust storage modes.

The existing dust cup type vacuum cleaner generally comprises a two-stage dust-air separation, structure. A primary dust-air separation structure is used for filtering large pollutants in the air, and a secondary dust-air separation structure is used for separating and collecting small dust particles and other sundries. The traditional secondary dust-air separation structure generally forms a secondary cyclone through the matching of a filter cover plate of a dust cup and a cyclone body provided with a plurality of cyclone ports. Such structure needs more parts and involves many complicated molds and tooling; more seals are required between the parts, which is difficult to control and easy to generate air leakage and dust leakage, thereby affecting the comprehensive performance of the whole machine.

The existing secondary dust-air separation type dust cup structure adopts an axial layout, and the purpose of dust-air separation is achieved by axially superimposing layers of conical bodies and a cyclone, so that a filter structure occupies a large space of the dust cup and occupies more dust storage space. Thus, the volume of the dust cup is small, causing that the secondary dust-air separation type dust cup structure is not suitable for small vacuum cleaners and portable vacuum cleaners, and is limited in the use range.

The secondary dust-air separation type dust cup of the above structure cannot be used for water absorption, and has no water retaining structure, causing that the secondary dust-air separation type dust cup is not suitable for the wet and dry vacuum cleaners.

When the two water baffles are assembled, the positions of the two water baffles are arranged in accordance with the inclined angles of opposite directions.

Further referring to FIG. 1, in order to cooperate with the water absorption function added in the disclosure, at the bottom of the dust cup main body 1, a water discharge mechanism is arranged and comprises a water discharge valve 13 and a water discharge valve control switch 14 The control switch 14 provided in a preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 11 adopts a shifter level structure, and the direction of the shifter level is horizontally rotated to play a role of turning on the water discharge valve 13 connected with the other end of the control switch, so as to discharge accumulated water in the dust cup main body 1.

In combination with FIG. 1, the assembling and working process of the cyclone dust cup for secondary dust-air separation according to the disclosure is described.

The primary cyclone 3 is firstly put into the opening of the hollow and cylindrical dust cup main body 1. The opening of the primary accommodating portion 31 is upward. Then, the first water baffle 4 is put into the opening. The side surface of the first water baffle main body 41 is provided, with a plurality of connecting concave portions 44 which are embedded with connecting convex portions 35 at the inner side of the primary accommodating portion 31 of the primary cyclone 3, so as to play a role of clamping and fixation.

The working process of the disclosure is described below in combination with the above structure.

When the dust-air mixture passes through the air inlet (not shown) of the side wall of the dust cup main body 1 and enters the primary filter 3 through the primary filter portion 32 of a plurality of filter holes, large particles of dust are separated into the dust storage space between the dust cup main body 1 and the bottom cover 8.

Next, the dust-air mixture enters the interior of the primary cyclone 3, and enters the cyclone from the bottom end surface of the secondary cyclone 6 through the first water baffle 4 and the second water baffle 5. When water exists in the dust-air mixture, due to the unique design of the water retaining, grilles, the water is blocked by the first and the second water baffles 4 and 5, retained in the space formed by the first cyclone 3 and the two water baffles, and then flows into the dust storage space (which is the same as the space of the above large particles of dust) between the dust cup main body 1 and the primary cyclone 3 through the filter hole of the primary filter portion 32 of the primary cyclone 3. Thus, the water cannot enter the secondary cyclone 6.

For the dust-air mixture of the secondary cyclone 6, the small particles of dust are separated into a secondary dust storage chamber. The separated air is then filtered through a dust cup filter element 9 arranged at the top of the secondary cyclone 6 and enters the space of the dust cup cover body 2, and clean air enters a motor from the air outlet, of the dust cup cover body 2.

The water discharge valve 13 and the water discharge valve control switch 14 located at the bottom of the dust cup main body 1 are used to release the sewage in the dust storage space, of the dust cup.
